Sunset and calm weather mean wind and solar can and will never replace conventional power generators. By ‘conventional’ we mean coal, gas, nuclear and, where geography and geology permit, stored hydro and geothermal power. Show a picture like the one above – the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (with … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power

Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Virtue signalling with heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar power comes with a staggering cost. Ask a virtue signalling victim from Germany, Denmark or South Australia where wind and solar obsessions have left them paying world’s highest power prices. Like the aforementioned, Ontario is another place where ideologues destroyed a perfectly reliable and … Continue reading Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Power prices have rocketed and businesses and whole industries are under threat, thanks to a political obsession with intermittent wind and solar. And their unreliable and chaotic delivery also threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. If Australia was looking to de-industrialise, then squandering $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to wind and … Continue reading Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster
Because RE zealots crowed about Germany’s ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar from the outset, it’s no surprise that its disastrous conclusion is attracting attention, much like a freeway pileup. Germany’s so-called Energiewende (energy transition) has turned into a power pricing and supply calamity. Which was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Jonathan … Continue reading Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster
Down Tools: Australia’s Most Powerful Workers Union Rejects Unreliable Wind & Solar
Labor – aka the ‘Workers Party’ – remains determined to destroy whole industries and thousands of jobs with a 50% RET and a giant ‘carbon’ tax. Business and job destroying policies that helped it comfortably lose the ‘unloseable’ Federal election in May, and which its deluded front bench simply can’t bear to let go. Australian … Continue reading Down Tools: Australia’s Most Powerful Workers Union Rejects Unreliable Wind & Solar
Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
Australia’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity has just got serious; very serious. Managing electricity grids is a finely balanced affair, requiring the ability to control what goes in and what goes out on a second-by-second basis. The generation and distribution of electricity was relatively simple when synchronous, dispatchable conventional generation sources (in Australia, coal, gas … Continue reading Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
If Wind & Solar Are So Cheap, Why Are Germans Paying World’s Highest Power Prices?
Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie: Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices And, with a looming capacity crunch, Germans will be lucky to have power at all, at any … Continue reading If Wind & Solar Are So Cheap, Why Are Germans Paying World’s Highest Power Prices?
Ripped Off: How Wind & Solar Industries Rigged Power Markets & Power Consumers Pay
The wind and solar ‘industries’ produce plenty of power when no one needs it and often fail to produce it when everybody does. The fact that they can’t deliver as and when power consumers demand electricity, means that power consumers pay - whether in the form of massive subsidies, Feed-in-tariffs, soft loans and government guaranteed … Continue reading Ripped Off: How Wind & Solar Industries Rigged Power Markets & Power Consumers Pay
Adults Only: Australia’s Nuclear Powered Future Requires Common Sense & Political Maturity
The best time to build a nuclear power plant was 20 years ago, the second-best time is today. Except, in Australia’s case, a group of hysterical intellectual infants managed to ban nuclear power plants, outright. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number of mines and states … Continue reading Adults Only: Australia’s Nuclear Powered Future Requires Common Sense & Political Maturity
Cuomo’s Curse: New York Governor’s $47,000,000,000 Wind & Solar Boondoggle
A decade from now, New Yorkers will rue the day that Andrew Cuomo determined to run their state on chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Like everywhere else that’s attempted to run on sunshine and breezes, New York’s power prices are bound to rocket out of control and its enviable grid reliability will soon become a … Continue reading Cuomo’s Curse: New York Governor’s $47,000,000,000 Wind & Solar Boondoggle
